the Sabbath. This Is the case In Great
Britain. A congress OF British trades
unions was held in 1885. At which
resolution was passed declaring: ''Iu
the opinion of the congress. it is unde-
sirable to augment Sunday labor BY
opening tho National museums and
galleries" The conclusion from the
survey of the whole field. is: THAT
nearly all systematic work, which is
performed in this country on the Sab
both is personal service re. dered ay
man to his fellowman." In otAer
words, the dissertation Of the Sabbath
is mainly matter of the personal con-
venience and pleasure of individuals.
In Justice to the railroads. it should be
stated that they endeavor to relieve
the men as much as possible of Sunday
work; and they do not compel the

Presuming that the disclosures in
this report. respecting the observance
Of the Sabbath in Massachusetts, and il
other States, will hold true generally,
we reach the original and the latezt
strength of the anti-Sabbath sentiment
Beginning among moral and religious
citizens, it has increased until it Aas
reached that point that they counte-
nance and abet the breaking of Sabbath
laws by public servants Undoubtedly
the foreign element has greatly helped
on this movement but let us not lose
sight of the fact that this element did
not originate the movement Excur-
sions were begun to accommodate the
wishes and convenience of those upon
whom no necessity was laid. And the
laboring man had to break the Sab
bath or lose his posision. This dire
dilemma was laid upon him by his en-
ployer, and by the public who sustained
the employer. And Christians are a
part of that public. The arraign-
ment here made is that the main guilt
of the present depaorable laxity of Sab
bath observance. and the increasing
violation of the Sabbath rest. lies upon

thoughtlessly; yet their requirements

to remove their patronage unless they
get what they want on Sunday. The
remedy, then, lies mostly with the

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Edward Everett Hale recently told
the students of Cornell University that
the best opportunity for studying nu-
man nature was in the occupation of
schoolmaster.
-Scr~ping and hampling with the
feet passes among German students as
a sign of applause in the lecture-hall
q curious custom which has just been
abolished at Leipzig by the university
authorities.
The alumni of the University Of
Paris numbered nearly IL. 600 last year.
OF these. S,7S6 were studying law. and
1886 were studying medicine. while
only IS were studying theology. The
female studeats numbered 167.
The youthful idea Of school has
many illustrations. ''Where are you
going?" ITO school" "What do you
go for - to resd?" mo" ITO writee'
"No." ITO count?' mo" "What
do you 90 for.'' ITO wait for school

THE TERROR OF RED DOG.

How an Unkempt Half Breed Extermin-
ated . Grumbling Diner.
'.Look here! 1 hain't been raised on
beetles myself; don't eat 'em to home
and amt gom' to eat 'em when pay
for bean SOUP"
1t was Samuel Standish Winthrop
who spoke. turning angrily away from
the best table in the only hotel at Red
Dog. Samuel Standish Winthrop, the
only son of one of the oldest and
proudest families of Boston; a graduate
of Harvard; brilliant, poet, artist, an
accomplished linguist, a lecturer and
man who, young as he was, had once
read Browning in the original Van
dyke Brown. Polished, courtly and
refined in speech and manner, the
child Of the oldest and best culture of
this continent was a strange contrast
to the rough scene and rougher men
around him. There were few of the
inhabitants of Red Dog in the dining
room at the time. Most of the boys
were in the mines, and Jim Wild,
Major Coldeck and Judge Lynch had
gone out to bury a stranger from Ohio,
whom it was found necessary to shoot
during the discussion over the relative
merits of tours and full, SO that, with
the exception of few miners and
gamblers lounging at the bar. the room
was comparatively deserted. Win
thrOp raised his voice with that per-
feet meditation that spoke his uni
versity training:
Il say. pardner, bring along dip
net and scoop out these beetles. l
take my soup and birds separate"
Rising lazily from the floor in cor
ner of the room, where he sat in the
dust. mending forlorn pair of ancient
moccasins. Tarantula Sam, the un-
kempt tattered. lazy hostler. waiter
and man of all work at the Red Dog
hostelry. shuffled up to the table and
leaning over the young Bostopian's
shoulder. with a dizziness born of the
mountain and camp easily fished out
the obnoxious insect with his finger.
''See, signor," said the half breed,
holding it before him. '.you are mis-
taken; it is not a true beetle; hardly
thought it could be possible in this
latitude. Note the vertical elongation
of the head, the slender antenn@. the
large reaiform compound eyes; the
shield-like tergal portion of the pro-
thorax. overlapping the head in front
and the tergal portion of the meso-
thOrax behind; the increasing length
of the strong legs, from the first pair
to the last; the elongated, many joint
ed, setose s:yles-cerci-- its extrem-
ity; all these mark one of the least
modified forms of the insecta, Blatta
orientaiis, the common cockroach of
commerce"
The half-breed paused. with the
cockroach held meditatively in his
fingers; there was little movement in
the group of idlers, gamblers. team
sters and miners at the bar; Colonel
Tarheel, the landlord. broke the silence
with: well. I will be dog-gone."
